On August 17, 2015, officers from the Rancho Mirage Police Department responded to a call of a bank robbery within the 71700 block of Highway 111 in the city of Rancho Mirage. Officers arrived quickly and determined that a male suspect entered the bank and demanded money while simulating the possession of a gun. The bank staff complied with the demand, and the male suspect left the location with an undisclosed amount of money.

Officers learned the suspect fled the scene in a white, four-door sedan, prior to police arrival. During the robbery no bank staff or citizens were injured.

The suspect is described as an unknown race male adult, wearing a black fedora type hat, pink shirt and dark sunglasses.
